FAQs
What is the history behind the Blue Willow pattern?
The Blue Willow pattern originated in England around 1780, inspired by Chinese porcelain designs. It tells a romantic legend involving lovers escaping a wealthy father, and has become one of the most recognized and collected ceramic patterns globally.
Is this saucer part of a larger collection?
Yes, this saucer is part of the Churchill Blue Willow collection, which typically includes various dinnerware and serveware items featuring the same iconic design.
Can I use this saucer with a large coffee mug?
The saucer measures 14cm in diameter, which is ideal for standard teacups. It may be too small to comfortably and stably accommodate the base of most large coffee mugs.
How should I store the saucers?
Store them in a way that prevents stacking them too tightly, which could lead to chipping. Using saucer racks or placing a soft cloth between them when stacked can help protect the edges.
What are the exact dimensions of the saucer?
The saucer has a diameter of 14cm and a height of 2.3cm.
Is the Blue Willow design printed or hand-painted?
The design on this saucer is a high-quality reproduction of the original hand-engraved pattern, applied through modern printing techniques to ensure clarity and durability.
Troubleshooting
Saucer has a faint scratch or mark
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For minor scuffs, a non-abrasive ceramic cleaner might be effective, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
Dishwasher leaves residue
Ensure your dishwasher is functioning correctly and use the appropriate amount of detergent. Check that the rinse aid dispenser is full. Running a cleaning cycle for the dishwasher itself may also help.
Chipped edge
While durable, ceramic can chip if dropped or struck. A chipped saucer should be handled with care or replaced to avoid injury.
